This slashing was the third within 48 hours after a 23-year-old man in the Financial District was attacked late Monday night, and a cabbie in Harlem had his face sliced on Tuesday, the New York Daily News reported.

The Silver Spurs victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital to have his injuries treated, according to ABC.

Police describe the attacker as male, black or Hispanic and 15 to 18 years old. He was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and dark jeans.
